Hi Eileen!  I did meet with the lead researchers for a brainstorming session about what they need to do to increase the accessibility of the Omnipod system.  I'm not sure whether they have been able to consider these issues with the release of this new system, but it was a very positive meeting with them.  I'm sure hopeful that they will come up with something.  They have been the only pump company actually interested in helping visually impaired and blind diabetics to my knowledge.  I received a call from Medtronic on Feb. 1, since my 530G is now out of warranty.  She wanted to know if I wanted to upgrade!  I was very nice, but gave her an earful about their lack of consideration for blind diabetics and what seems like an unwillingness to do anything about it like Insulet.

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone in this group has heard further information from Insulet on their development of a pump with "accessibility"? I attended the conference call they held some months back with us, the blind/vip insulin pump users and I have not received any word back from them.

Thanks.

Eileen

Thanks Gary! I had no trouble getting the information. I hope Insulet was able to make the device that runs the pod accessible for the blind. They have been working hard to do so.
